There's nothing in the film that hasn't been done before and better.
There's no dialog you can't predict. Not a single sentence where you can't finish it before the characters.
At the time it came out it was already outdated. A gung ho war film in 1968? Just as the American public turned against the Vietnam War and years after most of the public worldwide had already turned against empires and colonialism and the Cold War.
Today's audiences will mostly know Lloyd Bridges from the Airplane comedies, mocking his own tough guy image. I had a hard time taking him seriously any time he was onscreen.
Even the action scenes are by the numbers.
